Central systems from KNOLL

If chips and/or metalworking fluids need to be automatically transported to a central point and processed together, system-level solutions are required. Central systems provide this support, efficiently handling chip removal, extraction, or processing in an integrated configuration. If you are considering system expansion or configuration, please feel free to contact us.

Systems with pump technology

A conveyor and filter system with pump technology is suitable for fully-automatic chip transport from several processing machines to a central filter system. Cooling lubricant serves as the carrier medium. This system is especially advantageous in production areas with a large machine park. It is constructed to save space and be flexible with regard to its overall height. The user has many possibilities for expanding and converting his machine park. Little maintenance and service is required.

Features:

- High flexibility in the erection or changeover of the machine train
- Low space requirement due to above-floor pipelines
- Low maintenance and upkeep

Main components:

- Chip conveyor (optional)
- Chip reducer (optional)
- Pump-back stations
- Return pipework
- Chip pre-separator (optional)
- Cooling-lubricant filter plant
- Flow pipework
- Pressure-increasing stations, centralised or decentralised (optional)
- Control technology

Systems with extraction technology

A conveyor system with extraction technology is suitable for fully-automatic chip transport from several processing machines to a central collection point. Room air serves as the carrier medium. It can transport dry or slightly damp chips across a distance of up to 560 m. With the use of modern fans and control technology, the system requires little energy. It is also space-saving and offers great flexibility for the setup or conversion of the machine park.

Features:

- High flexibility in the erection or changeover of the machine train
- Low energy requirement thanks to the use of modern blowers and control technology
- Easy routing and low space requirement of above-floor pipelines
- Safe, fast and clean transportation with long service life
- Low maintenance and upkeep

Main components:

- Chip conveyor (optional)
- Chip reducer (optional)
- Extraction stations
- Stop valve
- Piping system
- Central extraction system
- Control technology

Systems with collecting conveyors

Collecting conveyor systems are required to bring metal chips and small parts from production to a central collection point. Initially, integrated systems convey the chips from the machine tool. They transfer their freight to collecting conveyors. If the distances are large, transfer stations and appropriate control technology is required. Depending on spatial and production-technical circumstances, individually customizable underfloor, overfloor or on-the-floor solutions are available.

Applications:

The rigid conveyor system serves to transport chips fully automatically from several processing machines to a central collecting point. The system is used in smaller and larger production areas inside a hall (wet and dry processing).

Features:

- High flexibility in the erection or changeover of the machine train
- Simple technology
- Requires minimal planning

Main components:

- Machine conveyor
- Collecting conveyor
- Transfer stations
- Control technology
- Downstream chip processing system (optional)

Systems for chip processing

The treatment of chips has many advantages: they are dry and separated by type, so disposal costs are low. Depending on the material, it may even be possible to sell the chips. A system for chip treatment includes different components depending on the requirements: conveyor and collection devices, magnetic separator technology, filter and volume-reducing briquetting presses. Containers or chip silos are also required. The components can be linked to one another and operated completely automatically.

Applications:

The chip processing system is suitable for both semi-automatic and fully automatic processing of metal chips. Chips are transported from the processing machines by automatic conveyor systems or by operating personnel with trolleys/containers. The system is used in virtually all production areas of the machining industry. Different materials (e.g. aluminium, steel or cast iron) can be processed by means of separate systems.

Features:

- Chip drying is essential to ensuring safe transportation on public routes
- Volume reduction reduces storage and transportation costs
- Recovery of chips and cooling lubricant protects the environment and reduces costs
